Job Description
ETF Trader — Proprietary Trading
We're partnering with an established proprietary trading firm on a search for an ETF Trader to run risk on their own capital. This is a risk-taking seat with full autonomy over your book.
This is not execution or ETF operations. You need P&L in dollars from a book you traded, not benchmark-relative returns.
Responsibilities
- Run your own book and your own risk across ETF markets
- Take directional and relative value positions across ETFs, baskets, futures and correlated products
- Identify and trade dislocations between products and across asset classes
- Manage risk in real time, including sizing, hedging and adjusting exposure through changing conditions
- Develop and scale your own strategies without a fixed house model
Requirements
- 4+ years of profitable P&L in dollars from a book you traded
- Experience running your own risk rather than executing for others
- Deep understanding of ETF mechanics, including creations and redemptions, index construction and cross-asset relationships
- Experience across equity, fixed income or international ETFs. Index arbitrage and cross-asset backgrounds also of interest
- Comfort with data and execution tooling
- Track record of performing in a high pressure, results driven environment
What's on offer
New York or Chicago. Competitive base plus a meaningful profit split on what you generate. No client business and no franchise flow.
